There was another large house at the
Grand last evening, and it enjoyed i'm.
mensely the exciting and thrilling life and
adventures OF the famous "Jack Shop.
pard," as depicted by N. S. Wood, the
popular young actor, and his excellent
company. There were frequent outbursta
Of applause. Tonight "The Boy Detec.
tive" now play, will be put on. This is
said TO be one Of the very beat of Mr..
Woods special plays, and elsewhere has
always been enthusiastically received.
The engagement Of Mr.. Wood is one OF
the most satisfactory Colonel Genther has

Tho CATO Brunswick Again Passes Into tho
Hands OF q Receiver. ~
The Gale Brunswick ct Nos. 1135 and
1857 Market atreet, which in it's palmy
days, under Entler's regime, was claesed
by the travelling public as one OF tho very
best restaurants west OF the mountains,
but failed because OF tho lack OF proper
patronage from Wheeling people, and
which since then has run down in de-
plorable manner, is again in the hands OF
q receiver. About five months ago tho
place was rcopened by J. B. Brant and B.
". Barleyi soon alter Burnley sold out to
Brant. Mr.. Bgant may be practical no.
tel keeper in some localities but he could
not run with SUCCESS a place like the
Brunswick. His management rapidly
grew from bad to worse. A few dayB

Yesterday he assigned to W. V. Hoge,
his Lease on tho place, his license and any
rebate that Council may allow on it, and
all the property OF whatever description
found in the building, including what he
purchased from Anton Reymann at the
time he opened the place and all he has
purchased from other parties since. This
property will not probably sell for more
than oae-hau its value and will fell far
short Of paying all the liabilities enumer-
ated. :,
4 The deed Of assignment was admitted to
record in Clerk Hooks Office yesterday,
The assignee is to pay frat, all the legal
charges incurred and reaerve percent OF
the proceeds for his services. He is then
to pay two notes made by Brant and held
by Anton Reymann, dated October 80,
1856, for $500 each with interest, payable
in four and eight months. The assignee
is then to reserve $50 for making the deed.
Second, he is to pay in full, il possible,
otherwise ratably the following legal
Judgments: One in favor of Smith 4
Shackmsn, given December Z, 1886, for
$40 9S and costs; one in favor OF the Rey-
mann Brewing company, given Dacem-
Der 0, 1856, for $50 IL and costa.
Third, heis to pay FIVE promissory notes
dated December 20, 1886, payable to the
order Of B. ". Burley, in one, two, three.
four and Eve months for Sl00 each and

DEAR sIE:-Complying with inatruc.

Of Washington gchool, l beg TO submit
the following: -:..zz-- CIR.
! frat examined the outer walls, and
find the front or east wall is practically
plumb and has settled very little II any.
The south wall l find to be out OF plumb
at the southeast corner 1t inches; ct the
southwest corner, II inches. This south
wall has settled three inches ct tho south.
west corner.
The west wall Is out OF plumb ct the
southwest corner 81 inches and n. the
northwest corner inches and in the CEN
ire q inches. Tho weHt wall has settled
on MI average OF three incheB and has
ulged out about three inches both hori-
zontally and vertically. All the linte!s
and uilla are broken, caused by the un-
equal aettling OF the wall.
The north wall is out Of plumb at the
northwest corner II inches and the north

two inches; ell Of the lintels west Of tho

Of no practical benefit, owing to the man

"A NARROW ESCAPE,
Clay School Almost Destroyed BY Fire Sun
..." stINH47 81 Inv NIrhf sNh'#FNNLsF4l ~ II

't'@4 day Night.
What would probably have been large
and very disastrous conasgraticn, result.
Ing from the use Of natural gas, was mar.
rowly ayorted in this city last Sunday
evening. The Clay public school in the
Third ward, corner Of Eofr and Twelfth
streets, was afro, and had It not happened
that Commissioner Dobblns had visited
the building Just at tho timo he did, Il
would probably hsvo been destroyed. The
facts wero made public at last nights
meeting OF the Board OF Education.
Commipsioner Jepson moved that
tho matter oil a FIRE drill in tho
several schools be referred to the Com.
mittee on Teachers and Schools for report,
and in explanation Of what he considered
tho pressing necessity for some auch drill
in these buildings, where hundreds Of
children attend, he referred to the fire and
the further fact that since then, Principal
Meholin has been endesvofing to have
the children In that school learn fro
drill.
Mr.. Dobbins and the janitor were about
to leave the building Sunday when tho lat.
ter spoke about the, heath d certain part Of
the building as being strange, the gas being
turned of. This led to an examination
and while this was in progress flames
burst out on the first floor near tho main
staircase, right over the boilers.
The fire .hose was brought into uae
and the blaze put out. In five minutes
time the entire building would have been
In 0ames. The intense heat produced by
the gas had fired the joists, probably sev.
eral hours previously, and they Ind
smouldered away until the very opportune
moment TINT they burst forth and were
extingulshed.

r LEAGUE NOTES.
The National League Ia getting great
deal OF gratuitous advertising this winter
out Of the St. Louis Maroona and its
principal players. The exact status Of the
St.. Louis club 10 not known; 1t has I'm.
questionably dispoaed OF It's franchise, but
whether to the Lesgue, Kansas City or
indianapolis has not yet been developed.
That Chicago will get Glasacock Is almost
certainty, and Jerry Denny will no doubt
fall to the lot Of New York. Boston has
been trying hard to get the great short
stop but spauldiug seems to have the
inside track.
It is not probable that there will be q
row over Glasscock's disposition, as Bos.
ton has unquestionably tho bes. right to
his services, having offered the largest
bones for him i. e. $1,000. Tho Mike KEEL.
ly deal with Boston may be all right as for
as the engagement goes, but when the
$4,000 bonds Ia considered the affair looks
very fshy. II Kelly is worth $4,000 to
the Bostonu, Glasscock's release ought TO
cost at least $4,000, as Jack Ia beyond
question the most desirable player on tho
field to-day, ,..''. ,'-
